Here are five things worth knowing before this weekend's schedule of college football games:

1. Notes about Memphis' futility start to get old after a while, but that doesn't make them any less informative. For instance: The Tigers are 3-16 in September beginning with the 2009 season. And the Tigers haven't beaten an out-of-conference Bowl Subdivision team since a 2010 win over Middle Tennessee, and before that it was a 2008 win over Arkansas State.

2. But hey, there is this, though: Saturday's game is a matchup between two of the six youngest coaches in the FBS. Justin Fuente, who is 37, will coach against Bryan Harsin, who is 36. (Western Michigan's P.J. Fleck, who is 32, is the youngest.)

3. In a number that sheds some light on the discontent in Starkville with Dan Mullen, State is 15-3 under Mullen in regular season non-conference games. Why does that shed some light? Because it means he's 15-21 in the other games. State has Troy at home Saturday night.

4. Dating to the 2007 SEC Championship Game, Tennessee has lost 12 of its last 13 appearances on the SEC's highest-profile television spot, the CBS one. The lone win came against Ole Miss on Nov. 13, 2010, but even that was an early game that wasn't in the regular 2:30 p.m. slot. Yes, Tennessee-Florida Saturday is on -- you guessed it -- CBS.

5. Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams are forming quite the tandem for Arkansas in the run game. Both are ranked among the nation's top seven backs in terms of yards gained, making the Razorbacks the only school with two backs anywhere near the top. Yes, the competition has been underwhelming, but Arkansas is averaging 294 yards per game on the ground. Through three games a year ago, it was averaging 106.
